FRICTION IN CANTILEVER SPRINGS

① THICK LEAF TYPE 6 LEAVES GREASED
② THICK LEAF TYPE 6 LEAVES RUSTY
③ THIN LEAF TYPE 11 LEAVES GREASED
④ THIN LEAF TYPE 11 LEAVES RUSTY

BOTH TYPES OF SPRING ARE THE SAME STRENGTH

Y-AXIS: FRICTION IN LBS
(Scale: 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250)

X-AXIS: LOAD IN LBS MEASURED AT END OF SPRING
(Scale: 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000)
